How this service works
Pay-per-call machine utilities for autonomous agents.
Output
A structured JSON economic profile containing metric groups such as labor (unemployment rate, labor force size), jobs and wages (total jobs, average weekly wage), economic output (GDP, growth), income (personal income per capita), and business activity (employer establishment count). Each metric includes its value, time period, data source (BLS/BEA/Census), and where available a national or state percentile rank. Growth rates are included when requested.
Example use cases
Site selection for a new facility
“I'm evaluating locations for a new distribution center. Can you pull the economic profile for Spartanburg County, SC — I need unemployment, wages, GDP, and employer establishment data with growth trends so I can compare it to other sites?”
Investor due diligence on a local market
“I'm looking at a real estate investment in the Phoenix metro area. Can you get me the full economic snapshot for Maricopa County, AZ — jobs, wages, income, GDP, and business activity — from the latest official BLS and BEA data?”
Economic health check for a state
“Can you give me a full economic profile for the state of Michigan, including labor market stats, wages, GDP, personal income, and growth trends, so I can understand how the state economy is doing overall?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agent-vending-production.up.railway.app/v1/local-economy?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need official, authoritative economic data for a specific U.S. county or state from government sources (BLS, BEA, Census), especially when you need a broad multi-dimensional profile in a single call rather than querying individual metrics. Prefer this over demographic-only endpoints when the focus is economic conditions — employment, wages, GDP, income, and employer activity — rather than population demographics. It is ideal for site selection, investment research, economic development analysis, and policy evaluation.
Side effects
- Unknown or misspelled county/state name returns a geography resolution error
- 5-digit FIPS not recognized returns a not-found error
- Data for very small counties may be suppressed by BLS/BEA confidentiality rules, returning partial results
- Requesting unsupported metric_groups enum values returns a validation error
- Stale or unavailable source data for a specific period may result in missing individual metrics
